How to register for the NCLEX exam

Do not register until you are notified by CRNBC that you are eligible for the exam.

After you register and pay the examination fee, CRNBC must confirm with Pearson Vue that you are eligible to write the exam within 365 days. If you apply too early and do not meet this requirement, Pearson Vue will cancel your application. Your examination fee is non-refundable.

Once CRNBC confirms your eligibility, Pearson Vue will send you the Authorization to Test (ATT) and instructions on how to schedule your exam date, time, and location.

The ATT is valid for 90 days. You must write the exam within the 90-day validity period or Pearson Vue will cancel your application and you forfeit the examination fee.
